The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts center in San Antonio. Located next to the San Antonio Riverwalk, it is named for Robert L. B. Tobin, one of the city's most prominent residents.
See also San Antonio Municipal Auditorium.
The Tobin Center was constructed on the site of the former San Antonio Municipal Auditorium, which had been built in 1926 and razed in 2009. Portions of the exterior of the Municipal Auditorium were preserved to be incorporated into the new facility. The renovation, by the Seattle-based LMN Architects and the local firm Marmon Mok Architecture, was completed, and the new facility opened, in 2014.[1][2]
On October 2, 2014, Sir Paul McCartney performed a special benefit concert for the Tobin Center.[3]
